Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
My Approach
We are all so much more complex and unique than diagnostic categories may otherwise imply. I consider the psychoanalytic/ psychodynamic school of thought to have the best tools to explore, understand, deal with the individual variables of such a complex system as the mind. No other psychological school can work with dreams! In this approach, symptoms are not seen as brain misfirings, but seen as rather intelligent "compromise formations", communications from the Unconscious to be noticed, understood, reshaped and redirected, not enemies to be defeated. In successful treatment symptoms cease looking like "misfirings". They become useful energy, a coming to life. Success in treatment leads to inner peace and inner coherence, not to an ongoing struggle against, management or suppression of undesired productions of the mind, not to a mind at war with itself.​​
Psychotherapy may open doors you didn’t know existed, and it can become your next best journey, the most meaningful and rewarding one. Whether you think you need just a little help or you want to get to the roots of deep problems, I will guide and support your advance in the direction you wish to go, or help you find your way if you feel lost. I will help you feel safe, comfortable, listened to.
With treatment, my patients find themselves less conflicted; more effective in pursuing their goals, or finding new ones; in less need to criticize, silence or suppress aspects of themselves; more alive; more meaningfully engaged with others; more at ease with, and effectively dealing with the challenges that life brings to them.
